Add Lysine to their diet; you can order it from Valley Vet or United Horse, etc. It's powder and works very well. My vet also advised taking corn from their diet, since the mold, etc. in corn keeps their immume system busy taking care of the mold, other infectious stuff can slip in.
My mare's two large sarcoids disappeared after a few weeks of the Lysine - no vet treatment, other than his diet suggestions.

| My gelding had 2 flat sacoids on his face. Vet recommended using Xterra paste but said wait till winter so the flies will not bother the wound as it heals. Xterra is suppose to burn an hurt so I first tried Crest toothpaste- the paste not gel- and the sarcoids fell after a month and have never returned. I learned about using the toothpaste here on BHW- thank you! |

Location: The end of the Earth, SE AR | My vet recommends Xxtera but we haven't tried it yet. My sister had a bad battle with them on her gelding and she said this stuff is well worth the money http://www.41laboratories.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=59 |

| I have heard toothpaste. It is cheap and worth a try. Just checked. It has to be Crest. It seems to have the same ingredient as Xxtera just way cheaper. And I am putting that in my mouth????????????

Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked | I used Crest toothpaste too on a horse the wart was on her shoulder where the fly sheet and blanket would rub. It really works took about 4 weeks to completely remove and much cheaper than the vet. I learned of the toothpaste from BHW too. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | I've only had one horse with them, I by chAnce started her on Forco for other reasons and about a month after starting her on it two of her flat sarcoids, one on her gaskin and another on her throat latch dried up and haven't returned. That was 3 years ago, the other one on her ear was the size of a large gumball, it dried up and started to irritate her because it was bouncing and dangling from a very small piece of skin. I had the vet come out and remove that one the rest of the way, took 2 stitches to close it and that one has never come back either. The vet was gong to get me some of the cream for it but after coming out to take the stitches out he decided there was probably no need. |

| Mine has one about the size of a quarter and 1/4 tall about where the back cinch goes. It looks like a wart, will the tooth paste work on it and if so do I need to wait until winter? |

IDK if it will work but you don't need to wait till winter to try it. I smeared it on twice a day, took about a month for them to fall off and did not make an open sore like the Xterra will. They were pretty small, larger ones might take longer. A tube of toothpaste is certainly cheap enough to try- good luck-hope it works! |

Location: MI | Someone on here also talked about the supplement Source and Omegahorseshine. I've been giving my gelding 1/2 cup of Omegahorseshine and an overflowing scoop of source since probably April/May and one of his has gone away, another decent sized one is almost gone, and one that had been cut out by the vet and returned (large) is going away quite well.
Someone else talked about Silver Lining Herbs; the Blood Klenz and Immune Booster I think. I would've tried that too, might have worked faster, but maybe not. |

I will give it a try, thank you. I looked at it again tonight and it isn't quite as thick as I said before. Thank you! |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I have a broodmare with a sarcoid above her eye. Not really pleasant looking. My vet said to leave it alone unless it gets worse or ulcerates. She said most of the time if you are treating them, especially with 'home remedies' they do ulcerate then the sarcoid spreads or gets much much worse. So we just leave it alone.
A feed through something like lysine might be worth trying since this is not a direct application though. Most treatments I know involve creams and treatments that are quite expensive and very difficult. |

Since my feed already has lysine in it, I just fed the recommeded amount on the Lysine container, it is one small scoop. I buy a container of Lysine and run it through all of my horses about every other month. No sarcoids have returned, it's been 3+ years.

Location: Kansas | Here's my experience....I tried the toothpaste, obviously didn't work for my gelding. He had several large sarcoids on his ear, neck and between the hind legs. I took him to the vet, cut off two of them, froze the area's twice.....worked. Never had issues with sarcoids after that. Best $250 I spent. |

Location: Wherever They Send Me | One of my horses and a friends horse both had sarcoids a few years ago. I heard horrible things about the Xterra, like it burns the horse, so I looked for other treatments.
So we found this Sarcoid Salve (http://balancedecosolutions.com/product/sarcoid-cleansing-salve/) and used it, along with Silver Lining Herbs #19 Bld Klnz.
I used them both for about 45 days (then had to stop b/c my horses were moving from Kansas to Alaska). By the time he arrived in Alaska, the sarcoids were gone!! My friends horse was the same way. HIs sarcoids were about the size of a dime. |

Location: Woodstown, NJ | Someone on here told me to use tea tree oil. They warned me to keep putting it on. I was scared at a certain point because the sarcoid got angry looking and I read about them spreading and getting worse but I trudged through because Barrel Horse girls know their stuff and lo and behold, it disappeared and never came back. It's been about five years. Knock wood. |

I asked and there was enough speculation that no one could be exactly sure. I decided to breed. If I see too many problems, I probably won't continue though. I did ask my repro vet her advice and she seemed to think it would be okay. |

| I was in Wal-Mart this afternoon so I bought some Crest Toothpaste to have when I was ready to start putting it on my horse. Do you have any idea how many kinds of Crest there is! I bought the Crest for cavity protection regular paste, hope that is the right stuff. All the other kinds had all sorts of things listed. |

Glad it worked well for you. I have a huge gray gelding with one that I banded last month. It fell off yesterday clean as a whistle. I had been using several different oils on it as my oil knowlege has grown lots in the last three years.
Turmeric is becoming my favorite. |

Where was it located at and what did it look like? Mine looks like it could be banded easily enough with those little green bands. |

His boy parts! I had to hold it as my husband put the band on. So glad, the oils did their part as well. |

Mine is on his belly, looks like a wart and about the size of a quarter. Did you band and then still put the oils on daily?

Yes, we banded as close to the root as we could then I proceeded to put oils on every other day. Yours may release sooner with daily application. |
